: It is enough that I have no malice toward Yu Xian Palace, explore the identity

As the lord of Yu Xian Palace, Ling Qiuchang’s strength was immeasurable, having already reached the ancestral Dao realm. He hadn’t expected a disciple like Gu Changge to be so casual and composed in his presence, showing no sign of pressure at all. Even the other elders of Yu Xian Palace would feel some pressure when facing him. This both surprised him and made him question what Ling Yuxian had told him earlier. Gu Changge’s origins were likely not simple.

After the events in the meeting hall that day, Ling Yuxian had approached him, mentioning Gu Changge’s uniqueness and asking him to investigate his background. Ling Qiuchang actually knew very little about Xianyun Mansion. However, he still ordered an investigation and learned that there was indeed a senior brother there who had been in seclusion for many years, rarely involving himself in external matters, and almost no disciples had seen his true face.

To confirm the information, Ling Qiuchang had specially summoned Elder Xianyun to inquire about Gu Changge’s identity and other related matters. However, Elder Xianyun did not provide any answers. Despite this, Ling Yuxian remained concerned, which was why she personally asked Gu Changge to come over. She planned to investigate it herself, as she wouldn’t feel at ease otherwise.

“It’s not the palace lord who wants to see you—it’s me,” Ling Yuxian said, taking the initiative to speak. Her gaze was fixed on Gu Changge, and her voice, cold and smooth like marble, carried a sharp edge.

“Oh? I wonder, Senior Sister Yuxian, what could it be?” Gu Changge responded, seemingly surprised.

A few days earlier, Gu Changge had already become aware of Ling Qiuchang’s frequent summons of Elder Xianyun. Elder Xianyun, not daring to hide anything, had immediately informed Gu Changge that Ling Qiuchang had inquired about his identity. As a result, Gu Changge had anticipated that Ling Qiuchang would eventually seek him out.

Although Ling Yuxian didn’t sense anything unusual about Gu Changge, she continued to stare at him closely and said, “I’m curious about your identity, Senior Brother. Among the peers of Yu Xian Palace, no one has ever given me such a strange feeling. I fear that even if I were to make a move, I might not be able to match you.” She ignored Gu Changge calling her “Senior Sister” and instead directly referred to him as “Senior Brother.”

“You haven’t fought me before, so why would you think that?” Gu Changge asked with a light smile.

Ling Yuxian gazed at him intently, as though trying to see through his thoughts. “I trust my intuition. You’re different—very special. No ordinary disciple has ever faced me so calmly. Even when you face the Palace Master, you remain as carefree as this.”

“Oh, it seems Senior Sister Yuxian is a bit too confident about her beauty. Unfortunately, I have no interest in you,” Gu Changge replied with a casual smile.

“I’m not talking about my appearance,” Ling Yuxian frowned, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction. She knew Gu Changge was deliberately twisting her words.

Gu Changge raised an eyebrow in mild surprise. “Then why would I be afraid to face you directly?”

Ling Yuxian’s expression tightened, her frustration clear. “Who exactly are you?” she asked, her words turning blunt, as if her patience was running thin.

She couldn’t discern Gu Changge’s origins, nor could she gauge his cultivation level. Yet the sense of threat and unease lurking in the background made her remain on high alert.

It was important to note that she possessed memories of her past, and her background was extraordinary. Although she had yet to recover many of those memories, what she did recall already set her far above her peers. Even many of the elders of Yu Xian Palace couldn’t fully grasp her origins or strength.

If she employed all her methods, even the elders in the Dao realm might not necessarily be able to match her today. Ling Yuxian was confident and proud, believing that within the Xi Yuan civilization, no one could rival her. However, the appearance of Gu Changge stirred some of her ancient memories, causing her to feel an overwhelming sense of crisis.

When Ling Qiuchang heard Ling Yuxian’s words, he did not doubt her but was even more surprised. Although she didn’t explicitly explain why she thought Gu Changge was special, it was likely her unique identity and knowledge that allowed her to sense some abnormalities.

After Ling Yuxian finished speaking, Ling Qiuchang fixed his gaze on Gu Changge as well. In his deep eyes, a boundless and vast scene seemed to roll and evolve. As his eyes opened and closed, chaotic energy was extinguished, and universes seemed to collapse, exuding an immense pressure that was breathtaking.

Using the methods available only to those in the ancestral Dao realm, Ling Qiuchang attempted to intimidate Gu Changge, hoping to force him into revealing the truth.

“Is this how the Palace Master persecutes the disciples of Yu Xian Palace?” Gu Changge glanced at Ling Qiuchang, his expression unchanged, still indifferent. With a chuckle, he said, “If word of this gets out, what will outsiders think?”

“I bear no ill will toward Yu Xian Palace, yet the Palace Master’s actions have surely disappointed his disciples.”

Seeing that his intimidation had no effect, Ling Qiuchang’s expression darkened slightly. As the lord of the palace, it was unreasonable for him to try to suppress a young disciple like this, and yet it had no impact whatsoever. It was simply unbelievable—almost like a fantasy.

In that moment, even he found it absurd. Who was this calm young disciple standing before him?

Ling Yuxian hadn’t expected that even Ling Qiuchang’s methods would prove ineffective and fail to deter Gu Changge in the slightest. It seemed Gu Changge’s background was even more remarkable than she had initially thought.

After a moment of silence, Ling Yuxian asked, “With such a profound background, Senior Brother, why do you choose to live in seclusion at Xianyun Mansion and act as an ordinary disciple?”

It was likely that even Elder Xianyun at Xianyun Mansion had no idea that his disciple possessed such terrifying strength and an extraordinary background.

Now that it was a matter of helping the patriarch of Yu Xian Palace out of trouble, Ling Yuxian couldn’t afford to be careless.

“Everyone has their own secrets, so why should Senior Sister delve too deeply? Just like you, Senior Sister Yuxian, don’t you have secrets of your own?” Gu Changge said with a faint smile. “All you need to know is that I bear no ill will toward Yu Xian Palace.”

Upon hearing these words, Ling Yuxian’s expression shifted slightly. Her secret was known only to her—Ling Qiuchang had never known it. Yet Gu Changge’s remark implied that, just like her, he too was someone with memories of a previous life, a reincarnated person.

Was this why she felt unease and a sense of threat from Gu Changge?

He claimed to have no ill intentions toward Yu Xian Palace, but was that truly the case?
